Today promises to be a beautiful spring day, the kind that makes you want to pull up a lawn chair and just drink it all in. The view from the back deck is just stunning, clear blue skies with a view of the water and the mountains beyond.

Dakota is happy to be rid of his winter coat, (I spent yesterday morning brushing him out) and he’s now sprawled out in the sunshine. The cats have each found a patch of sun to lay in – the same one, of course. I have pointed out that there are other windows, and other warm patches, but they just look at me as if to say they know, but this is the patch they must have.

My tea order from Adagio arrived yesterday! The little tea pot is the cutest thing, and it holds exactly two mugs worth of tea – exactly what I needed. The sample teas all smell so good, even the “Aquarius” blend I got for free with my order. I’ve only tried the vanilla green sample so far, but it was very good – I’m sure I’ll be ordering it again soon.

I have nearly finished Alex’s blanket. Perfect timing mom…right when it’s warm enough that a crocheted blanket is the last thing anyone needs! However, he’ll use it this fall, and it will look good on his bed, so it’s best to finish it now. I let Josh pick out the colors for his, now I’ve got some bright blue and yellow and green to work with. He wants a wave pattern, something I’ve been wanting to do again anyway, so that should be fun.

I need to get my computer upgraded and reinstalled…the parts are all sitting on my shelf. Then I can setup my gallery again and post pictures of all my projects, perhaps it’ll get done this weekend.

Natural pet care is something I’ve been interested in for a long time. Finding natural products and organic food for humans can be hard…seems to be ten times harder for pets! But I finally stumbled upon a site that has the products I want, and delivers locally.

The things on my list were:

A natural hairball remedy – Mocha is the queen of grooming, but her late night presents right on my path to the bathroom are not something I enjoy.

Natural ingredients senior cat food – Monty is not quite ready, but Mom’s cats are 10 and ready to make that transition to a diet better suited to their age.

Natural vitamins and minerals supplement – After the ear infection Mom’s cats had, and the heavy duty treatment, a natural supplement to build their immune systems back up is really important.

I was able to find everything I was looking for, plus the prices were actually quite reasonable and comparable to regular products at my local pet store. Gotta love great prices!

ICHCB…A cat lover’s daily dose of cuteness! This is the home of the “lolcats” (and sometimes other animals too). If you’re looking for loldogs, you might want to check out ihazahotdog. Also available in a cute desk calendar…which I got for Christmas this last year 🙂 I love it!
